On 11 April in Sao Paulo, several Brazilian climate actors convened to discuss how the Global Stocktake can enhance national climate action.
The global stocktake is a critical turning point when it comes to efforts to address climate change – it’s a moment to take a long, hard look at the state of our planet and chart a better course for the future. It will conclude at COP28 in Dubai this year.
The event, organized by CDP and the Climate Champions Team and supported by Climate and Society Institute (iCS), was the first workshop for non-state actors in Brazil and aimed to promote capacity building around the GST and engage relevant stakeholders in the discussions.
During the workshop, states, cities, companies, financial institutions and civil society organizations discussed the stocktake process and other relevant subjects regarding Brazil’s climate action agenda.
Participants included Gonzalo Muñoz, Global Ambassador for the Race to Resilience and Race to Zero campaigns, and Professor Roberto Schaeffer who presented Brazil’s net zero by 2050 transition plan, and the role that non-state actors play in this transformation.
As part of the final phase of the stocktake, governments and real economy actors were invited to share their views on how countries could best come together at COP28 to respond.
The major annual event hosted by the Climate Group and New York City, in conjunction with the UN General Assembly (UNGA) opens this Sunday 17 September, with some 400 sessions taking place across the city.
There is still an urgent need to implement and scale up “a rigorous ‘all of economy, all of society approach’” this decade, according to the first-of-its-kind global stocktake technical report released today.
